What is your favourite festive food?
Dec 24 2007 02:37
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, most people celebrate food. 
Mine is choc fudge yule log (chocolate licquers a close second! ) tho if we were talking savoury i would say the veggie Boxing Day supper of cold nut roast, mashed potato and pickles.
Yours?

I had beef Wellington for the first time yesterday as part of an early Christmas meal before I go visit my folks, and that was one of the nicest things I've ever eaten.

it's sausages wrapped in bacon n00b.
It's the easiest way to make better meat - wrap it in more meat

Sweet potato mash, and covering my roast potatoes with cranberry sauce. I'm way into good Christmas pud too, not the stuff that's so heavy and bitter you have to drown the taste with about a litre of cream.

Lappebiff - or "patches beef". Reindeer meat, the lapp/sami way. Fried and then boiled in lots and lots of butter, with onions and garlic and cream. Eat it with some veg and sauerkraut. Delicious! Don't get it in Egypt though

Ha ha such an obvious carnivore v veggie battle in this thread - didn't see that coming.
The term pigs in blankets is so cute - the reality rather less enticing.

stuffing or parsnips.
Although I had roast bananas wrapped in bacon the other night and that was surprisingly good.

According to wikipedia thats a 'pig in a pig' and I didn't even edit it to say that. Looks great though, I'm a big fan of bacon wrapped around chicken.

In this matter I'm afraid I'm a complete tradtionalist. Roast Turkey!

Out here a "pig in a blanket" is breakfast sausages wrapped in buttermilk pancakes that one then dips in maple syrup. I can't believe people are wrapping sausages up in bacon!? Now y'all just need to dip that shit in batter and fry it up, song of the south baby...

Oh good call - though when I said "usual christmas veg" I'd include sprouts!!!

sprouts are the making of the dinner. Everything else just sits around them.

You evil, evil bastard... My Father (Norf London born and bred) used to make us eat those disgusting things with our meat and two other vegies for tea. I will never eat another or forgive him for this cruelty. 
all the best.

Stuffing was SO good, turkey is only good with good gravy or lots of cranberry.
